Steps to putting a video onto the ipod

Can someone please tell me step by step on how to put a video onto an ipod and include every detail please?

well, if you buy a video from itunes and have your ipod on automatic update, it should automatically go into your ipod once you plug it in.
if you plan to put a dvd you have into the ipod, then here is a more detailed guide about encoding etc.

How to put dvd movies on to ipod classic

How do you safely put DVD movies on to an ipod classic?

Ripping DVDs requires breaking the encryption on those DVDs, which cannot be discussed here. You'll probably be able to find the answers by looking elsewhere. Sorry.

How do you put homemade videos on an iPod using Windows???

I'm so annoyed. I spent my only phone support call to Apple trying to figure out how to get a home made video clip onto my Video iPod and they have no idea unless you are a Mac user. I have successfully put DVDs on the iPod using DVD Decrypter and Nero Recode but if you want to export a small clip, from Adobe Preimere for example, it seems impossible. Can anyone help???? I have exported a clip from Premiere and it says it's a Quicktime file but when I open the file in Quicktime Pro and "export to iPod" it will be rejected after dragging it to the iPod Library. There are programs to help you complete this task if you are a Mac user but I can't find any solution for PC. Any suggestions? I just want to be able to take a segment of video I made on a minidv camcorder and put it on the iPod. I know how to capture and edit it using Premiere but how do I save/export the clip in a file format that Quicktime and/or the iPod will recognize?

There are many options that work great for windows users. I personnaly use "Video Vault for the IPOD". My home movies where captured to the hard drive as MPEG 2. The above software will accept just about any file (DVIx, XVId AVI, DV, MPEG 1/2, WMV, Realplayer etc.) and format and convert for you. I have over 280 video files currently on my IPOD. The software is not freeware, but you get a good product for your money. It will automatically transfer the file when complete to your IPOD. Music videos take about 1 minute to convert from WMV format. TV shows in MPEG 2 format take about 6 minutes and a 2 hour movie takes about 48 minutes. It has a very fast encoder and keeps your audio and video streams in perfect snyc. Use Google and you can download a trial to try it out. It is really easy to convert videos to your IPOD. You just need the right software. I see so many MAC users stating that us "Windows" users have so few options other than "Videora". While MAc's have some very good software programs, so do we, you just need to find the right one. Good luck and stay positive. Don't hesitate if you need more help to post back.

How do i get videos onto the new ipod?

haven't been able to figure out how to get videos onto the ipod. tried to click and drag a home video into the video section but that didn't work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
also, where do i go to get an episode to download onto the ipod?

Hi Sebastian,
Use iTunes to put videos onto your iPod. Make sure you have the newest version (by pressing Help, then selecting check for iTunes updates).
Once you are sure you have the newest version of iTunes, just press File -> add file to library, or drag your video file onto the iTunes library. Then all you need to do is update your iPod.

How do I download videos from my ipod onto itunes

how do i download videos from my ipod onto itunes?

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod
BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

Cannot get videos onto 60GB Ipod

Simple question, how do I get videos over to my 60GB Ipod? Very simply Itunes does not let me drag videos onto my ipod device, where it's listed on the left side. The videos are converted and in the proper format for the Ipod.
I got it to work once, but I cannot seem to get it to work anymore.
Just got it today, this thing really does not play well with my PC as I've had many problems updating it right out of the box.

I was having trouble adding some videos to my ipod, and they were ones with really long titles and/or other characters in the title.
When I shortened the title, for some reason, they went on right away.
Don't ask me why, I found this out by accident.
Worth a try, right?
